Romel de la Torre

Art Appreciation

Born in the Philippines, Romel de la Torre is a renowned artist known for his realistic paintings of figures, landscapes, portraits and still life.

I came across his paintings through one of the blogs I follow, the American Gallery. One of the paintings that caught my attention was that of a ballerina waiting before her performance in a painting titled, Backstage. What I like most about this painting is de la Torre's use of reflection and light that shows the girl's beauty and innocence.

You can see more of his wonderful artwork HERE.
